CHAMBERS EUROPE GUIDE 2011
Chambers and Partners recommends:" The shipping practice at this firm is able to cover a wide range of matters, but has a particular focus on yachting-related advice and construction and shipping finance work.
The firm wins warm praise from clients, who appreciate that the “service is prompt, reliable and business-oriented and the advice is first class.” A recent highlight was assisting Vships with the charter of an offshore construction vessel.
The practice is also notable for its connections with leading London shipping practices. Managing partner Gianfranco Puopolo specialises in the acquisition of Italian shipyards and acts on contract negotiations for the construction of mega-yachts. His business acumen and efficiency are highlighted as particular strengths. Clients say that he is “more of an adviser than a lawyer – I really trust his judgement.”
